We discovered this place when looking for a restaurant across from this hotel, which as it turns out - the restaurant is closed permanently.
We pulled into La Fortuna in the midst of a rain storm and wanted to go no further.
After quickly checking TripAdvisor, decided to give this hotel a chance.
Turns out to be staffed with friendly...

Deal guess,
Thank very much for taking the time to write this review. We are glad you found the room spacious and clean. We will be more than happy to have you again.

Simple yet clean and comfortable hotel. A good price and friendly service. On the Main Street so walking distance to everything. We had a room in the back so it was quiet. Little kitchenette and hot shower. Recommended and I'd go back!

Location was walkable to all of downtown. Rosio (front desk) is amazing. She walked me through every single tour available and gave suggestions and comparisons of the tours/operators as well as restaurant recommendations.
Room itself was large and clean.

This is absolutely the best hotel we have had in Costa Rica during our 3 week holiday. Rooms are nice and clean, and the air conditioning works great. Service was perfect! The lady in charge was very kind and helped us finding other hotels and tours. To bad that we could only stay two nights. Overall we had a great...

We quiet liked this place. On the positives the room was a really good size, really clean, comfortable and had a nice balcony. The only negative is the road noise but we knew going that would be the case. It's not an issue with ear plugs. The hotel also organised excursions which was really handy and the prices were competitive.

The room was very comfortable and had a small fridge and a table, which was nice. Location is very comfortable. We weren't met with much enthusiasm and when we asked about tours we didn't get that many details so we ended up booking in a different office in town so I guess that could have been better but the room...

I am sorry you were not greeted with much enthusiasm and proved tour details. That should not have happened. We have plenty of information and first hand knowledge about tours. Most of the staff have been on the tours. Additionally, we have...

We arrived here after a long commute from San Jose. Upon arrival, there was a bit of a mixup with the billing, I was charged for way more than Expedia had quoted me, and it seemed like Expedia bookings don't sync with their reservations. Or maybe they don't sync it, either way, have your documents/itineraries ready so you are charged...

Thank you for staying with us and taking the time to write a review. We really appreciate your comments.
We are really sorry for the initial confusion with the room charge. The receptionist of that day was filling in for another employee and he did not realize you had Expedia reservations. We were able to cancel the voucher and run...

Not a bad room. It was big and clean, however we were put of by questionable electrical engineering. None of the light switches turned on the lights we expected and we were unsure of the wiring of the contraption in the shower (mini hot water heater?)

Nothing but good things to say about this hotel. The staff is very nice and the Operations Manager, Ricio Vargas is the best in all our world travels. She went the full mile to ensure our stay was a very pleasant one. My wife got sick and she personally took her to the doctor and to the pharmacy. She went...
